Dear debaters, as you all have heard, Hosni Mubarak has finally decided to step down from his position as the President of Egypt. As the event progress, it also affects the space of debate that the issue occupies. Thus, it makes one of the motion under the heading Middle-East become undebatable. Therefore, the A-core decided to make an -probably- unprecedented move, which is to substitute the second motion under this heading:

THBT while the US back-up remains, the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak is insignificant

With:

THBT the ouster of Hosni Mubarak can lead to stability

Meanwhile the rest of the motion will not undergo any change. We believe that it’s not too late to start researching again, yet we do appologize to you who’ve prepared your cases for the previously released motion.
